Development of Vertical Alignment System for Manufacturing AMOLED TV

We once have announced that we developed a horizontal large-area alignment system with an alignment accuracy of < ${\pm}3{\mu}m$ and an alignment time of < 30 seconds, a core process module for RGB direct pattering by using a fine metal mask, which can process a Gen 4 ($730{\times}920mm^2$) substrate for high resolution OLED products. In this article, we presents a brand-new vertical alignment system for a even larger substrate of Gen 5 and beyond which can provide a better alignment accuracy and a higher throughput. The newly developed system exhibits an alignment accuracy of < ${\pm}2{\mu}m$ and an alignment time of < 20 seconds which, we believe, can open a new era for manufacturing large-size OLED monitors and TVs.
